Information for Parents
Insurance:
Health Care
Spain has a National Health System that provides health care to citizens in public centres.
1. If you are a citizen of the European Union, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, you will need to apply for the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before you come so you are entitled to medical treatment in Spain. Get in contact with your local health authority.
2. If you come from a country other than those listed above, before you come check if there is an agreement between your country and Spain regarding Social Security and medical care. If there is, the public health authorities in your country should process the corresponding document so that you may be entitled to medical treatment.
3. If your country does not have an agreement with Spain, remember that you must take out private medical insurance.
